Big food, good deal

Hope you had a good weekend. I stopped into the Booth's Corner Farmers Market over the weekend - just over the Delaware line in Boothwyn, Pa. - and was amazed at the crowds.

It's been a while since I've been there and forgot what a wonderful market it is, especially if you looking for some fun food finds.

Don't miss Cajun Kate's which offers everything from a gumbo of the day to jambalaya to po-boy sandwiches. There's only counter seating available, so take-out isn't a bad idea here.

More is coming soon about Cajun Kate's food. Stay tuned.

Also, consider the carved roast beef sandwiches at Chamberlain's Roast Beef. They are out of this world terrific. If you're a meat lover, then you're going to love Chamberlain's. The stall has a big seating area - with tableside service - as well as counter seating.

The hand-carved beef is medium rare, thick, but not too thick, and stacked high on soft rolls. It comes with a side of au jus. There are little jars on the table of horseradish, pickled sweet peppers and jalapenos to jazz up the sandwich. It's a real deal for only $6.50. Carved roast pork sandwich are also $6.50 - but it's buy one, get one free. You can't beat that bargain.

Look for more on Chamberlain's in an upcoming food story I'm working on now about food values - big portions at lower costs.

Just the ticket to make fat Americans fatter. Good idea.

I was just at Booth's Corner this weekend, too, and had lunch at Cajun Kate's. What a great place!

The burgers at Albie's really shouldn't be missed either. The sweet potato fries they sell are better then the regular ones.

I discovered Cajun Kate's shortly after moving to Wilmington. Definitely the BEST cajun food around! There's nothing that I can find in the area, including Philly, that compares. The atmosphere is as much fun as the food - the guys behind the counter are friendly and welcoming. Go! You'll love it!

Here it is Wednesday and the USS Hurlock can't keep up with a once a week column of blather.
